Overview
The Constitutional Kaupapa Inquiry (Wai 3300) is a kaupapa inquiry that will hear claims concerning grievances relating to the constitution, self-government, and the electoral system.
Inquiry progress
The inquiry commenced in December 2022 (see Wai 3300, #2.5.1 for the memorandum-directions commencing the inquiry).
The inquiry is in its start-up phase.
In April 2023 the Tribunal commissioned four pou tikanga (experts in tikanga) and three pou ture pākehā (experts in New Zealand law) to produce a report on a tikanga and Treaty-compliant process for hearing the claims of the Constitutional Kaupapa Inquiry (see Wai 3300, #2.3.1 for the memorandum-directions commissioning the pou).
After the pou produce their report, the Tribunal will wānanga with parties to hear their feedback on the report and to discuss the design of the inquiry.
